I got Kurt Busch in the Random Fantasy Game this week. Can't complain about that.

Justin Haley won the truck race last night after Todd Gilliland ran out of gas on the backstretch on he final lap. Austin Hill had a career best 5th place finish. Jesse Little finished 7th in the #97 truck.

Bell spins from pole in front of the entire field at T1, but aside from 2 other spins behind to avoid the melee, no contact at all

It feels like NBC got exactly what they wanted though, they replayed the Kansas start pile up about 5 times in the pre-race, including on the parade lap right before the green.

Credit where it's due: everyone did a great job keeping that from turning into another junkyard.

NW race surprisingly OK so far, been some good racing and a few cautions keeping things interesting

Now at the end of stage 2 and they're 2 by 2 for the lead, what is this.....

And for about the 4th time today, at the start of stage 3, 2 leaders spin in front of the field and no-one behind hits them

Crazy

Christopher Bell goes around from the nose of the 22, this time slaps the wall slightly with the left side.

Now the 18 drifts up and completely takes out the 19
Didn't look intentional but it was definitely the 18s fault

Now all we need is the 21 to wreck and we'll have completed the Set.

Bonkers restart incoming?

How did they hang onto that?

13 cautions in the end, yet hardly anyone got any damage out of any of them, couple of side swipes, that's about it

Two drivers whove won 11 races between them might not be allowed to win a championship. This format is a total mess.

Well Bowyer did try to make sure it wouldn't...

Thankfully NASCAR doesn't throw so many BS cautions anymore...

Yeaa, slow car with puncture used to be an automatic caution...

Blaney was close to wrecking there

Byron gets caught out by Johnson's lack of grip... caution.

I know the cars are complete horseshit, but this track is so awful since they reconfigured it.
